Warum Bauingenieurwesen studieren?
Bauingenieure gestalten mit ihren Bauwerken und Gebäuden die Umwelt in der wir leben. Heute sind die Anforderungen an Gebäude und Bauwerke ganz andere, als noch vor 100 Jahren. Neue Baustoffe, neue Bauformen, völlig andere Ansprüche an modernen umbauten Raum, aber auch Fragen der Umweltverträglichkeit oder der verantwortungsvolle Umgang mit immer knapper werdenden Ressourcen prägen den Fokus des Forschungsgeschehens im Bauwesen.

Welches Studium passt zu mir?
Diplom-, Bachelor- oder Aufbaustudium, eventuell ein integrierter Auslandsaufenthalt –welches Studium passt zu mir? An unserer Fakultät bieten wir verschiedene Studiengänge mit verschiedenen Abschlussmöglichkeiten an.
Abschluss mit einem Doppeldiplom
Auslandserfahrungen legen wir unseren Studierenden besonders ans Herz, deshalb ermöglichen wir im Diplomstudiengang Bauingenieurwesen den Abschluss mit einem Doppeldiplom. Einfacher ist ein Auflandsaufenthalt im Studium nicht möglich. Durch die Zusammenarbeit mit französischen und italienischen Hochschulen fügen sich die entsprechenden Lerninhalte in die Ausbildung bei uns ein und die Teilnehmenden dieses Programms können in der Regelstudienzeit zusätzlich einen Abschluss im jeweiligen Ausland erlangen.

Kooperatives Studium
Begleitend zu einer Berufsausbildung ist es bei uns möglich mit einem sogenannten Kooperativen Studium innerhalb von 6 Jahren einen Abschluss als Diplomingenieur zu erlangen.
Kooperatives Studium
Fernstudium
Eine gute Möglichkeit, Studium und berufliche Tätigkeit sinnvoll miteinander zu verbinden ist ein Fernstudium.

Studiengänge der Fakultät
The study documents for the diploma program in civil engineering at Dresden University of Technology were revised in 2019 and 2020 and formally introduced in September 2020. They meet the requirements of European specifications for university study programs (Bologna Declaration). At the same time, they make use of the option given in the Free State of Saxony to continue offering the civil engineering degree program with the also internationally renowned Diplom-Ingenieur (Dipl.-Ing.) degree.
The study program is divided into three sections: Basic Studies, Basic Subject Studies and Advanced Studies. In the first three semesters of the basic studies, the general fundamentals of civil engineering are taught. The results of the basic studies are shown in an intermediate certificate. The following three semesters contain the basic studies. Here, a wide variety of fundamentals from all areas of civil engineering are taught: Structural Engineering, Construction Management, Urban Engineering and Transportation, Hydraulic and Environmental Engineering, Computational Engineering, and Building Energy Management.
The advanced study program comprises four semesters and offers further specialization in the aforementioned areas of civil engineering according to personal preferences. In the first two semesters, courses of the elective modules are taken, followed by one semester each for a major study project (application-related science project) and the diploma thesis. These can also be carried out in cooperation with practical partners outside the Dresden University of Technology or at partner universities. Special agreements for double degree programs exist with ESTP in Paris, INSA in Strasbourg and Università degli Studi di Trento. In addition, students have the opportunity to gain international experience during a one-semester stay abroad at another university without extending the standard period of study.
Students receive individual study counseling at our faculty on the combination of modules with regard to the desired fields of activity in their future professional life.
The Faculty of Civil Engineering conducts postgraduate studies for graduates of a bachelor's degree program with at least 180 credit points from the field of civil engineering or technical college studies with at least eight semesters of regular study time from the field of civil engineering. The standard duration of study for this is 4 semesters including the processing time for the project and diploma thesis. The postgraduate studies are completed with the academic degree of Diplom-Ingenieur (Dipl.-Ing.).
The course of studies can be started in the winter semester. It has a modular structure and comprises two compulsory modules, one technical compulsory elective module and six modules of a specialization to be selected, which enables the student to set a focus. The following specializations are available for selection:
Structural Engineering (KI)
Construction Management (BB)
Urban Engineering and Transportation (SV)
Hydraulic and Environmental Engineering (WU)
Computational Engineering (CE)
Building Energy Management (GEM)
The curriculum is spread over three semesters. The fourth semester is devoted to the preparation of the diploma thesis. For further information, please refer to the corresponding regulations for the postgraduate studies.
Important note
Some modules are not offered. Please choose from the offered modules, the table of module offerings (to be found here) gives an overview.

Bachelor of Civil Engineering
The Faculty of Civil Engineering at the Dresden University of Technology offers the bachelor's degree program in Civil Engineering as a university-based technical distance learning program.
The prerequisite for enrollment is the general university entrance qualification (Abitur) or a qualification recognized as equivalent in the form of a corresponding subject-related university entrance qualification (not a technical college entrance qualification) for the Civil Engineering degree program. Applicants with a master craftsman's certificate in the main construction trade or a state-recognized construction technician's degree can also be admitted to the study program. The program is completed with the academic degree of Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.).
The standard duration of study, including the time required to complete the Bachelor's thesis, is twelve semesters (part-time distance learning). A study schedule is recommended, which can, however, be adapted to individual requirements; a minimum duration is not prescribed. Approximately 20 hours per week of self-study should be planned.
Diploma Postgraduate Program in Civil Engineering
The Faculty of Civil Engineering offers postgraduate studies for graduates of a bachelor's degree with at least 180 credit points from the field of civil engineering or of a university of applied sciences with at least eight semesters of regular study time from the field of civil engineering.
The standard duration of study for this is 8 semesters including the processing time for the project and diploma thesis. A strict time limit applies, but a minimum duration is not prescribed. Approximately 20 hours of self-study per week should be expected. The postgraduate program is completed with the academic degree of Diplom-Ingenieur (Dipl.-Ing.).

MSC Programme: Advanced Computational and Civil Engineering Structural Studies (ACCESS)
The Faculty of Civil Engineering at Technische Universität Dresden offers an international MSc programme in the field of computational and advanced civil engineering. The programme is taught in English and addresses a broad international community. The expertise of the Faculty with a strong emphasis on numerical methods and a large field of research topics in engineering is associated to a wide national and international research network.
The goal of the programme is to impart knowledge leading to research competence and to high level engineering skills based on an individual choice of modules by the participants. Moreover, the programme is intended to provide a close individual supervision of the participants by the teaching staff in order to achieve highest goals most efficiently.
ACCESS seeks to facilitate the development of a strong knowledge base in the field of computational mechanics and structural analysis, working collaboratively with advanced civil engineering design. Technical innovations for challenging engineering tasks rely heavily on numerical simulation tools. Therefore, the goal of the programme is to provide the skills for understanding, modelling and analysis of these approaches in the broader context of application and design by focus on:
- state-of-the-art computational mechanics
- current numerical structural analysis
- research in structural modelling and analysis
- current developments in civil engineering design
- advanced construction methods
Engineers with a strong computational background are in high demand in international companies, consultant agencies, engineering offices, construction enterprises and research.
